I am debating the following cars :
911 Turbo RS / Lambo Gallardo / Ferrari 360
I'm looking for the following information:
Daily driver : What type of repairs should I anticipate?
: What types of costs should I affiliate?
Investment : Estimated resale value in 5 years with 25k/40k miles
For current owners, do you believe the spyder is the proper way to go? What do you like about the car? What do you not like?
Thank you so much for the responses.

I have owned all of them.
The latest 911 turbo that I owned was a 996TT, fast, reliable, it will get looked at in the street more than you would think. Lots of grip, safe in the wet, surefooted at speed, addictive turbos. Very comfortable, nice ergonomics and nice ones can be bought from as low as $70k. If I was looking for a Turbo 911 then I would buy a 996TT X50 optioned or the best one, the 996GT2. The GT2 is a very fast animal and a great car to take to the track.
The 360 isn't slow, it will bite you if you're not careful in the corners, not as reliable as the 996TT. It feels light and corners in a nimble manner. Will turn heads, but not as much as expected for a Ferrari, a Testarossa will make it look invisible. Out of warranty some parts are scary and this car isn't as reliable as a 996TT or a Gallardo.
The Gallardo is my pick out of these choices. Is a little faster than the 996TT and a lot faster than the 360. The car will turn heads all day and night. Is very reliable, mine never broke down in over 8,000 in a year, not a single problem. Well built, feels dead solid at speed, I had mine at 140mph talking to my wife and I thought I was doing 90mph. The fastest I went was at night at 180mph and it was pure pleasure, not scary or wondering about like in a 360.
I wrote this as fast as I can think so I know that I left a lot of stuff out, but tried to just write what most want to know about the cars.
I now have a F430 and I'm getting close to selling it and if I do it will be replaced by another Lamborghini.
Give Roy (catsexotics) a call and buy a Lamborghini (he knows Lamborghini very well) or any other car, that's my best advise as his reputation is top notch.
